Opinions
Summary of Opinion H-876
Request for opinion sent to the Attorney General's Opi-
nion Committee by Luther Jones, Chairman, Commit-
tee on Elections, Austin, concerning the eligibility of
public officers for political party posts.
Summary of Opinion: A school district trustee, a
trustee of a special district, a city council member, and
a deputy sheriff and constable hold offices of profit or
trust under the laws of Texas and are thus barred from
acting as "chairman or as member of any district, coun-
ty, or city executive committee of a political party."
Furthermore, a candidate for any of these offices is
prohibited from serving in any such political party posi-
tions. When any such political party officer becomes a
candidate for public office, he automatically vacates his
party office. An election official should not refuse an
application for a place on the ballot to, or refuse to cer-
tify the election of, a public officer seeking a political
party post, although, if the individual attempts to serve
in that capacity while remaining a public officer, he
, may be ousted.
